The sad faced man ..returns home. part lll

Larry, now free of Grrr happy greeting began to breath again.
"Grrr..cough..cough..Good to.. cough.. see you again..I think"
Spoke the Sad faced man.
"Sorry Pal" replied a happy Grrr. "I was surprised and happy to see you.  Last I heard you had left for ole England? I see ya met Bob."
"Yes. I have indeed had that pleasure as you wrote in your letters he is indeed most kind. Had I known it was BOB,  I would not have perhaps been so forward as you did write of that American fondness for mausers and the 45."
"Nah, Bob is ok for an ole ape!' replied Grrr.
"Thanks a lot ya rotten reptile!" said Bob.
"Aw come on ole ape..meet Larry an ole buddy from the boards."
"The Boards ? You mean a friend from your acting days?"
"It is like I always tell guys Larry. Ole Bob ain't as dumb as he looks!"
"Hey ya overgrown lizard." replied Bob.
Ah Gentlemen ..gentlebeings I have no wish to cause discord..I will just go.." said the Sadfaced man.
"Not at all sir. Any friend of Grrr is welcome here. We always insult eachother."
" Ah!  Yes of course. The American custom. I have spent so long in Europe that I had forgotten."
Replied Larry. He wearily sank into the offered chair and gratefully drank his coffee.

The sad faced man ...meets an old friend part ll

There was a mighty roar from the door.
"Larry you old flea collar wearing bum!!!! What are you doing here?  Too long old friend." Roared Grrr as he picked up and hugged the sad faced man.
The sad faced man gasped in Grrr's mighty embrace! "I..I..." and started to lose consciousness from lack of air. Thinking quickly Bob looked to a 2/4 on his workbench...pushing that aside, he grabbed a icy can of root beer and tossed it to the happy T Rex.
"Here ya go pal have a cold one!"
"Thanks ole ape" Grrr replied catching the can.   Larry, now free of Grrr happy greeting began to breath again..

The Sad faced man.

Bob was out mowing the lawn. This was a sort of "sure babe in a bit" job that the "bit" had gotten here. As he pushed the mower and wished for the power mower, he in a foolish moment,  had given away when he left  Cali, a rather sad looking man walked up to him.
"Excuse me sir?" The man said and Bob, truth to be told,  who would much rather talk than mow in the heat, stopped work and replied " Yes sir?"
"I am very sorry to disturb your fine work Sir. But alas I am lost!" the sad looking fellow said.
 "My pleasure to help sir. Would you care for a coffee or perhaps a cold beer?"replied Bob
"Why..why thank you!" Answered  the sad faced man. "A cup of coffee would be grand. If it is no trouble?" "Not at all sir. I always keep a good supply of coffee at hand. Come sir into the garage and out of the sun. Please take a seat." Bob said as he handed his guest a cup and a plate of donuts.
"Ah if I may be so bold sir?" "Please sir!" replied Bob.
"Well Sir I see by the donuts and coffee and your gray hairs that you must be either a retired constable or a teacher?"Spoke  the sad faced man.
"Spot on sir. I am indeed a retired history teacher.'
"Well, the old friend I am looking for went into education and often speaks of a friend "Bob" Would that be you ..." Before Bob could reply  There was a mighty roar from the door.
"Larry you old flea collar wearing bum!!!! What are you doing here?  Too long old friend." Roared Grrr as he picked up and hugged the sad faced man...

The new middle east

Prediction DH DAAAA!!!
The USA and Russia will get annoyed and say enough! They will as the Brits and French did, split the Middle East Into two Caliphates: Sunni under the Saudi and Shitta under Iran.
Israel will become an self ruling millet under the Saudi. Saudi will provide the money, Israel the hi tech/ weapons and the arab street the population for the Sunni caliphate. The Pals are going to get forced into the caliphate if they like it or not.That keeps Israel happy and gives them peace and in return they join the caliphate. Iran, Syria and parts of Iraq will be the Shitta Calaphate. Iran will supply tech and money and Syria and Iraq manpower. I am not sure yet where Turkey or the kurds fit in yet, The Kurds are simple just give them a millet..but Turkey that is the rub..they want to restore that Ottoman Empire and neither I think the Saudi or the Iranians will go for that. Of course you might just have one official caliphate under the Turks and Sunni / shiite emirates. That has also happened before. Interesting times.

Hiding the Earl Gray.

 "Darn it Grrr. I told ya not to hide the Earl Gray, Ya know Al Gator has no humor when it comes to his tea!!!!!
"Hey pal, is it my fault that that limey gator cannot take a little joke??"
"You wanna go down and tell him that pal?" asked Bob.
"Welll uh since ya put it that way...NO." Replied Grrr.

Grrr is back at his "caring " job

SUNDAY, JULY 14, 2013

Back to Work.

"Back to work.

Grrr was back at "The Wellness Center" wearing his lab coat  He does love that coat.
 He thinks it gives him a professional aire, in fact, he was thinking of taking up pipe smoking. His next client, a duckbill named Darren was in his office. Grrr looked at Darren's case history before seeing him. 

" Humm tried to off hissself..sounds like a nut to me". said Grrr.

"My ..ah...dear Grrr, it would, perhaps be more in keeping...that is to say..enlightened, if we were..that is... if we felt the pain of this fellow being." replied Dr. H,  the hadrosaur, and  brother in law, that Grrr worked with.

"Hey, doc they pulled this guy out of the volcano twice and he went to the Raptor Convention with a sign reading "Meat is madness." If Flower had not been there, he would have been lunch."

As Grrr came into his office, Darren the hadrosaur,  started to act out. "I don't know why I am here".He yelled. "It is my life and  you all are just ..just too too stupid to see the meaningless of life. I have the vision and the genius . I, uh, what are you doing?
I am trying to bring enlightenment to the tiny dino brain and you and not listening.
 WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" He asked Grrr in an angry prima Donna type rage.

 Grrr looked up from the table where he was setting out plates, knives and forks and spoons. " I never can remember. Does the spoon go next to the knife or the fork? Gretta is always yelling at me about..It"

"What are you doing?" yelled Darren the hadrosaur again.

"Well look pal, I only had a small bronto burger for breakfast and it looks like I am going to miss lunch, with you here so.." relied Grrr.

 "If you think for one minute that I am going to sit here while you eat brontoburgers...well." said Darren taking out his "Meat is madness" sign.

"Bronto burgers? Who said anything about a bronto burger? asked Grrr with an evil T- Rex grin.

 "You cannot fool a dino of my superior intellect, Grrr. 
 I see you setting your table and smell the disgusting oder of cooking meat!" said Darren the hadrosaur.

"Well, Brainaic, that shows what you know! T-Rex don't use silverware. This is for my human pal who is joining me later as is the hamburger you smell. We Rex eat our meat fresh, as you are about to find out."

"I don't care how you vile meaters eat...uh..what do you mean, as "I am about to find out? I told you I will not sit still and watch you eat." said Darren.

"Don't sweat it pal" Grrr said as he started to walk toward Darren the hadrosaur. "you won't have to watch it ..for long!" 

As he looked  at Grrr's fangs, Darren started to say something. Stopped and started to back up till he ran into the wall. "Wait..wait..you wouldn't ...you  you  can't!??? Said a now very frightened hadrosaur.

"Sure I can. Look. It is no problem. I just take a few bites, rip out your neck. Done it many times." Said Grrr with a toothy grin as he slowly closed in.

Darren the hadrosaur cried "You..you are no--not going to eat me?"
"Sure, why not? I gotta eat, you want to die. As I see it. It is a win-win for us both."

"Are you mad...I..I..??" said Darren.

"Come on guy, make up your mind! It is almost lunch time.
You want to die or not? Who went to the Raptor convention? Who tried to jump into the volcano?" said Grrr has he opened his mighty T-rex jaws and reached for Darren.

"No--No..please I want to live..I want to live!" said the Hadrosaur.

Closing his jaws with an annoyed snap, Grrr said, "All right, Get out of here. I am going to lunch. But if they bring you back with another "I want to die stunt, you are on the menu."

"No..no.. I..." said Darren as he raced for the door, "I am cured."

 After Darren left, Grrr went into Dr. H's office. 
"He is ok now doc. Won't see him again."

 "Really..ur..Grrr..I don't know how..your record of cures... amazing!..What... therapy...that is to say..clinical approach.. did you employ?"

"Therapy? I just invited him to lunch doc." said Grrr.

Grrr was going Jurassic!

Gretta came running over to Stef and Bob's house.
"Gretta what is the matter?" asked her friend Stef.
'It..it is Grrr. He is going Jurassic. Is Bob here?"
"Yes. He is watching some old film on WW 1. I will get him.
Bob, Gretta is here ..Grrr is going Jurassic and ..."said Stef.
"Babe, they are explaining why the Kaiser offensive failed in World War one ....."said Bob in a distracted voice.
"You have to come now before Grrr hurts himself!" said Stef.
"What is the problem ladies?" Bob could hear Grrr stomping around, hitting things with his mighty tail and roaring. Bob noticed that the ladies were sort of looking at each other like two students who had copied each other's homework.
"I was worried about Grrry " said Gretta so I .."No. So we". put in Stef, "got him some diet root beer and filled his keg with it. We were trying to help."
"Oh NO! " said Bob as he recalled the time that the kids had given Grrr diet rootbeer. They called it the "North ridge earthquake", but is was not a quake.
Quickly going to the keg he kept for Grrr's visits , he filled a T-REX size glass with "Mug root beer" and went running to Grrr's cave.
In a minute or two peace had been restored.

Grrr and Bob go to the supermarket. part lll

"Ya know pal this is easy." said Grrr

"Yep" Wonder why the girls take so long?"

"Girls"  "Yep" said Grrr  

"Yep" agreed Bob

"We better double check." Said Grrr.

"Ok" We got coffee ...donuts..root beer  brono burgers...green stuff and We got it on sale.

"Hey did ya see those "organic" chickens ...yeah $15  they gotta think we are dumb We got these for 5 bucks and chickens are organic..Ya remember science class?"

"Yeah and we can use the money we saved..did you see left over candy and cake at the sale table?"

Bob and Grrr shook hands.

 

Grrr and Bob go to the supermarket. part ll

In the supermarket
"Hey pal. ya got the girl's lists?" Grrr asked Bob.
" No I figured that you had it  it must be in the car. Ya think we should go back and get it?" asked Bob.
"Nope. It is hot out there and how hard can this be all we gotta do is get what the girls would get." replied Grrr
"Yeah. But dont forget that they are also looking for stuff on sale and they have those coupon things from the paper. We forgot them in the car too" said Bob
"yeah and  that means we dont got none and  they will get mad...hold on" Grrr said as he went to the front of the store found a newspaper and began to rip out the coupons...
"Hey hold on you.." yelled the manager "yes?" said Grrr turning to look at him with a evil T Rex grin.
"Uh  nothing sir...Happy to help"  Replied the manager as he backed away.
"Everything Ok pal? Asked Bob as Grrr rejoined him.
"Yep. Nice helpful people here" replied Grrr.

Grrr and Bob go to the supermarket.

Gretta had hurt her foot in the yoga class and Stef was over taking care of her friend. Now as it was shopping day. Bob and Grrr, noble beings that they are, volunteered to shop. Gretta and Stef exchanged the "wife look" and said "Uh boys we think..." "Hey we can do it" said Grrr. "Yeah" agreed Bob. " You ladies take it easy. We got this!" Stef and Gretta with a worried look on raptor and human face handed the guys shopping lists...

Constitution Why?

Constitution Why?
If you study the Constitution and you should, you see that pains were taken to create both a separation and a balance of power. While the protections may seem complex, the reason for them is simple. It is the nature of men. we would now say "persons" to wanna play god and tell others what to do and how to live. Some do it becouse they enjoy power and like to be "Milord" others do it out of " a desire to help the masses create a better life" For whatever reason, the end result is control. This must lead either to submission and the slave pen or to war and the battlefield. Such is human history and such the founders of our nation wanted to avoid. 
Tomorrow: How this was done.

Constitution 101 The Federal Government

Constitution 101
The Federal Government 
The third level of Government under the Constitution is the federal. The aim of that federal was to A; Deal with foreign national governments so the the USA would speak with one voice and not be subject to the old divide and conguer and B. To settle disputes between the states. It is becouse that federal government would be or could be both powerful to a degree separate from the local people that the system of checks and balances and in my opinion that the Bill of Rights was added and you will NOTE that the Bill of Rights, LIMITS the power of the Fed AND the BORs ( Hey if they could not trust the king's and parliament's spoken word..well) is written down. They knew that there would be disputes between the states..Example: Over the western land and if there was not some way to settle them fairly? Civil war? and if the union broke apart, well England ..France..and Spain was still out there.
Tomorrow: The Ideal behind the Constitution.
HW: Dont be lazy..I could be wrong or lying..so tomorrow look this stuff up.....Reading history is a good thing

Constitution 101 State Governments

We have 3 levels of government in the USA and each have their own special and limited powers:
They are: A. Local B. State C. National.
Local: it was envisioned to protect the freedom of the people that most everyday political power over the lives of the people, would be at the local ( town or city stage) You would KNOW the people who were in office and the local cops etc. They would live in the community and interact. ( in brooklyn..for example Joe the cop lived down the block as did his wife and kids) There were natural social interactions that would prevent the rise of a cromwell. Of course you had rich and poor, welcome to life on earth, but the social status of Americans was not fixed as it was in Europe or Asia and one or one's family could rise or fall. Americans as was so shocking to other nations would speak their mind and while polite were not ones to bow or tug their forelock to their betters. Ya may be richer than me pal that does not make ya better..was the American attitude.
